Re: MS Paint Adventures 6:12

Also, take a close look at the blinking red light. You should be able to see the MSPaintAdventure logo...

The machine is displaying a red circle around the commands, which are Caliborn's actions, and a green circle next to the summaries. The machine seems to be almost entirely red lights, with a single flashing green one.

I'm pretty sure it's Calliope, who now has the ability to Muse into Caliborn's brain.

While it's over a somewhat petty thing... Caliborn really does seem upset. I don't see him as the type to talk about his issues with, well, anyone. That he's revealing that sort of thing to Hussie is either a sign using another typing strategy really is throwing him off, or it means Hussie being in his head has a bigger effect on him than we thought. And, if you think about it, having Hussie narrating inside my head would be pretty freaky (Well, having anyone inside my head would be terrifying, but somehow Hussie seems worse than most)

Why do you think LE wants to kill Hussie?

Well you look into the water and the fish are dead
You close your eyes and all you see is red
Now you're all tied up inside your head
And I already forgot everything you said.

Should this be in spoiler? idk. But really, Caliborn shot Gamzee just for being ridiculous. It's not too surprising he'd want to kill someone messing with his head, reading his thoughts, trying to control him. Assuming that person is Hussie...

EDIT: Okay, the person communicating through the tower is almost certainly Hussie. Who else would refer to Gamzee as the most important character in...? And Caliborn is growing increasingly frustrated with him.

So Caliborn wants his text to be green, like his sister's blood? Or maybe he'll sample different coloured pixels? LE's palace on the Felt (and well, the Felt) are green, his text is green, except when it's multi-coloured. Also, all-caps.

Re: MS Paint Adventures 6:12

Sburban Jungle is one of my favourite songs in the current soundtrack. While this is an interesting take on the song it needs quite a bit of work, as it currently stands though, it just feels like the artist simply replaced all the tunes with instrumentals without regards to what instruments harmonize well together.

Certain instruments take the melody at times when they shouldn't (the flute/clarinet sound that's everywhere is way too strong), and they often take it solo instead of as a culmination of sound which orchestra really should be.

Also, the artist missed a great opportunity for an epic build up at the start.

Good first attempt though, I've never listened to any artificial orchestration which I've thought sounded good so I'm guessing it's quite a feat to get something which works without an actual orchestra to back you up.

edit: After re-listening to the song and sampling a few of the others by the author, I think the problem is he/she chooses songs which don't have enough depth to support an orchestra (depth meaning that it feels like the artist is only using 1/4 of the orchestra at any time, maybe 1/2 when things build up) and the artist doesn't add in the extra parts which would make the entire thing feel more natural.

edit#2: More sampling seems to confirm my claim. The remixes which were based off of more 'natural' songs, with more parts and instruments (ie: not midi songs) translate much better to orchestra format.

Re: MS Paint Adventures 6:12

so…

three kinds of screwed up sessions, null, void and dead.

Caliborn gets the rawest deal, the dead session, the extreme difficulty session game where everything is jacked up to crazy hard, with no players to help him, no way to create a new universe and basically he has to do everything himself to succeed against the most hardest things. after of course, solving a bunch of puzzles with no one but Gamzee to help.

I think we now know where all the crazy godlike power came from: Caliborn obviously succeeded, and in doing so he had to fight so hard and so much that his echeladder went through the roof, and then he god-tiered, and…then somehow became victorious at his dead session I guess.

But with no new universe to create and inhabit, whats the victory condition? escape? defeating all the challenges? did the Choice change him into Lord English?

so many questions...

Caliborn is quite amusing!

Its been said that by killing Calliope, Caliborn has completely stunted his emotional growth. He's trapped as an adolescent, and what's worse, and adolescent cherub, who are like, crazy violent people? His positive character traits, which is to say his peserverence and ambition will allow to take advantage of his screwed up session, which offers the hardest challenge but apparently the biggest reward. But all that's going to what's basically a crazy ultra-violent id-driven jerk-bag alien teenager.
